Pheasant season 2026-27: when each state opens

Pheasant season dates for 2026-27, each taken from the state wildlife agency's own season page or regulations (checked November 6, 2026). Many states run a youth hunt or a resident-only opener before the regular season, and some split the state into zones, so each state page lists every season. Pick a state for its dates and free public land maps, which Cartahaven shows your GPS position on with no signal.

Licenses, units and bag limits differ. Always read your state's regulations.
